We propose techniques of hologram replication in glass plates and reconstruction on another film by corona charging. A surface relief hologram on an azobenzene polymer film was recorded in the form of electric polarization in glass plates that include alkali cations by corona charging at high temperature. The hologram recorded in the glass plate is stable for more than 1 month at room temperature. After removal of the azobenzene polymer film from the plate, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) film was spin-coated onto the plate. The hologram recorded in the plate was reconstructed with the same surface relief structure on the PMMA film by corona charging again at 110 °C.

Key words: hologram, glass, corona charging, azobenzene, poly(methyl methacrylate)
